First Financial volunteers engaged with 70 students from Kenwood High School for yesterday’s Adulting 101 program! This innovative budgeting activity helps young adults experience the life of a working adult through a fun and interactive simulation. 

In the Adulting 101 program, students are given a “Life Scenario” that includes a career, salary, family situation, and potential student loans. They then visit various stations, guided by First Financial volunteers, to make important budgeting decisions for housing, transportation, childcare (if needed), health insurance, groceries, and more!

Our volunteers assist students in navigating these choices while sticking to their budget, encountering real-world challenges along the way. As a credit union founded by an educator, First Financial is committed to providing free and engaging financial education to the youth in our community. This program offers students valuable financial wellness skills that will benefit them now and in their future.
